Good grief.

Someone who thinks a cloth mask prevents COVID is calling everyone else an idiot.

The poster didn’t say anything about a cloth mask.

Thanks, I had a negative PCR test last night! I'm feeling better each day but because I rarely get sick, this probably hit me harder than other people? Just a guess.

I dunno, I got it bad back in 2020, a roaring fever (103+), splitting headache, muscle aches galore and a wheezing cough for 3 weeks. When I exhaled, the sounds coming from my lungs sounded like Satan laughing at me. It was rough and a bit scary, but I never had to go to the hospital so I guess I'm fortunate. Occasional wheezing went on for months. My doc prescribed a z-pack and an inhaler around the 2-3 week mark, which seemed to quiet things down, but it was a bumpy ride. Thankfully not a sniffle since.

Hope you're feeling better, on the bright side, you now have strong immunity.
My doc ran an antibody test on me a year after having covid and my numbers came back strong. He said I'm good for the foreseeable future, no vaccine necessary, which was refreshing to hear because I expected a lecture about getting vaccinated.

No, not wearing a mask and I hope to never have to wear one at the gym again.

My gym required them for a little while back in 2020, but once the requirement was lifted in my county, I stopped wearing one, as working out while wearing a cloth mask (or even worse, an N95) is a terrible experience. There were a couple of folks who chose to wear them after the requirement was ended, but now hardly anyone wears one.

I haven’t gotten sick.

Back in the 2020 timeframe, our (Colorado) Department of Public Health and Environment identified gyms as as NOT being a significant source of transmission of COVID, back when they were doing contact tracing.
